That's plausible if the subs were still trying to hit the GT of the old HLR
instead of the new ones. Also, it looks like the SGSNs were updated
properly but not the MSCs since it only affected voice calls.

<br>
I&#39;m a ported Nextel sub, and I didn&#39;t notice it, but that&#39;s not \
impossible.<br> <br>
Based on my jackleg knowledge of cell networks, and the slim amount of<br>
detail in that piece, I&#39;m going to infer they neglected to port those subs<br>
to new Sprint Home Location Registers, and then turned the old ones off.<br>
<br>
That or the LIDB; not sure which.  Which will almost certaintly leak...<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
